This is the fourteenth chapter of the Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi TAS. Here we come to the most infamous desert chapter - combined with Fog of War, this can be a real pain for even the most prepared player.
Turn 1: First off I distribute those Killer Lances I bought last chapter. Marcus hands some to Thany, and Roy takes some. Cecilia manipulates the Boots pick up, and Miledy takes them over to Alan so he can use them. It is pretty evenly split per chapter on whether Alan or a flier is the best recipient, but I figure since Alan can be self-sufficient in terms of combat, he'll have the best use of them.
Anyway, Thany scoops up Alan, drops him a Killer Lance, and gets danced by Lalum. Sophia also moved forward during this time, and interestingly dropping her Flux tome sped up the Boots manipulation. Only combat here is Thany dodging one of the mages.
Turn 2: Sophia moves again - her position is important for the next turn, since she needs to be killed in order to skip the gaiden. Miledy gets rid of one mage, who would otherwise harass the fliers in this middle ground, and Thany drops Alan off here. She can't escape combat completely here and still drop Alan close enough, so I just make sure the Hero fails to crit with his Killing Edge. Alan also needs a level up on this enemy phase, and gets HP, Str, Skl, Luk, Def. For some odd reason, the sleep staff bishop likes to target Cecilia, even though she has the highest Res of the party. Doesn't matter if she gets put to sleep though - in fact it is slightly faster since the next turn he will target Miledy which is faster than stretching across the map for Cecilia again.
Turn 3: Miledy palms off Roy, and he gets dropped in seize range for next turn. Thany moves south. I have to let Sophia get killed first, since the mage that is nearby takes two hits to kill her, and would attack her second after the wyvern. Thany has to make two dodges at 61 and 43 hit, and again it doesn't matter if Miledy is put to sleep.
Fun fact: the frame I press start to skip Sophia's death quote is 133777.
Turn 4: Thany collects the Warp staff. This will be invaluable for saving time on the later maps, but I can't use until I recruit Niime in Chapter 19. Alan removes the boss, and Roy seizes.
@MagicBarrier16 Correction: Desert Map + Fog of War + Time Limit if you want to get the side quest that leads to the real ending of the game = ultimate FE dick move.

Nice to see you destroy this chapter, though.
